I've been putting a bit of thought into dating, which up until recently I had not even considered. I have aspergers, and although a reasonably mild form and sometimes not noticeable, I'm still pretty self conscious about it and how I am perceived to others. Just for reference, I'm a straight male at 22 years old.
I was wondering if when looking for someone in a relationship if people would disregard someone immediately if they had some sort of communication disorder. I don't really expect it to be perceived as a positive but to how much of a degree it is considered a negative.
Also, at what point getting to know someone would you like to know if someone had aspergers and/or any other 'invisible' illnesses or disorders? Is it something I should be upfront about or ease into all my crazy.
Any advice would be appreciated, I'm pretty new to this and this isn't my forte.
